EGYPTIAN WINTER, or PERENNIAL TREE 

 ONION. Whenoncesetout,without having the slightest win-

 of the stalks, like Tree Onions. Qt., 20e.; qt , post-paid, 30c. 



NEW WHITE MULTIPLIER ONION SETS. Thesf- 

 are of a pure silvery white color, enormously productive, 

 frequently producing as many as tw^enty bulbs in a single 

 cluster from a single bulb planted, of excellent quality and 

 size for bunching green, or can be ripened for use as pickling 

 onions, and for this latter purpose can be grown much more 

 economically than from seed. Their keeping qualities 

 are remarkable, having kept perfectly sound for a year; 

 but their most important quality is extreme earliness, 

 being ready for market from three to four wteks ahead 

 of ordinary onion sets. Qt., 35c., post-paid; qt., 25c.;

 foreign onions for fall shipments only, as the sets are 

 hard to keep over winter and should be planted in the fall.

Market Gardeners* Best Parsley. 



Photograph of a single plant of market gardeners' best 



PARSLEY, shoAvnig its great beauty, vigorous growth 



and A\ondeiful productiveness. 



The best points yet obtained in parsley have certainly 

 been reached in this sort, representing as it does the result of 

 seven years' critical selection by oneof our most experienced 

 market gardeners. The plant is of a very robust and free 

 growth, and is greatly improved by severe cutting. Tiie 

 leaves are large and beautiluUy curled and of a very dark 

 green hue, and very tine for eitln'r open ground or frame 

 culture. It siands heat, drought an<l cold better and 

 will yield double that of any other sort. The whole appea^-- 

 ,ance of the plant is very handsome, and it certainly is "the 

 I)arsley for eillier the market or fauaily garden."

 famous Johnson & Stokes' Extra Early, has many points of 

 merit to recommend it. Itis a blue, round pea. The pods 

 are of medium size, are borne in great profusion , and are well 

 filled. In qnnlity and flavor it cannot be surpassed by any 

 other early smooth sort. Vines very uniform in growth, 

 rarelv reaching more than eighteen inches. Pkt., 5c.; pint,
